Jeff, Founder and President of Operation Explore, is an organizational development practitioner with a focus on Culture, Strategy and Structure. He specializes in highly customized and engaging organizational development learning processes. A core niche is the use of experiential learning as a ‘practice field’ for the application and development of skills, knowledge and shifting mindset. His primary focus is to shift mindsets, perspectives, create alignment, focus and energy. One of his passions is working with family owned businesses with a desire to manage transitions from one generation to the next. The ultimate goal is to stir curiosity about people, skills, performance, strategy, and self, while igniting the fire and passion within.
During his down time he enjoys spending time with his wife Valerie – his college sweetheart and wife of 25+ years and his three daughters: Kierra, Mikaela and Ainsley (two are in college). He enjoys mountain biking, paddle boarding and adventure.
Favorite Book: “Switch” by the Heath Brothers, one of the more accessible readings on how to manage change. Favorite quote: “It is okay to look back, but don’t stare”. Phil Barco
